water distribution in Canada
00:06 - 00:10
Whoa. Most of Canada's surface freshwater flows northward.
00:10 - 00:14
39% of the total area of the country drains in the Hudson's bay,
00:14 - 00:19
and further than 36% of drains into the arctic ocean.
00:19 - 00:25
15% of it. The total area, Canada's water within the atlantic ocean drainage areas.
00:25 - 00:26
10%
00:26 - 00:28
specific ocean.
00:28 - 00:30
The range area
00:31 - 00:36
Is Canada a water rich country.
00:36 - 00:40
Overall, Canada may be considered a freshwater rich country.
00:40 - 00:40
On average,
00:40 - 00:46
Canadian rivers discharge close to 9% of the world's removable water supply,
00:46 - 00:50
while Canada has left less than 1% of the world's population.
00:51 - 00:51
It
00:54 - 00:58
how do we measure the water in Canadian lakes and rivers
00:58 - 01:02
measurement can be made electronically from a bridge by
01:02 - 01:05
walking into a stream by boat
01:06 - 01:09
or from a cableway was strung across the river
01:09 - 01:12
measurements are made through ice.
01:14 - 01:19
Why do you need to know how much water Canada has
01:19 - 01:23
level and discharge information is essential for
01:23 - 01:26
the wise management of Canada's water resources.
01:27 - 01:28
For example,
01:28 - 01:29
to
01:29 - 01:32
locate water between various users
01:35 - 01:39
which are the largest bodies of water in Canada Lake, Superior
01:40 - 01:41
Lake, huron,
01:42 - 01:43
Great Bear Lake,
01:44 - 01:51
Great Slave Lake Lake Erie Lake, Winnipeg Lake, Ontario Lake Athabasca,
01:54 - 01:58
What percentage of Canada's freshwater is found in the Northwest Territories?
01:59 - 02:04
Northwest territories have about 13.5% of the freshwater and none of it has
02:05 - 02:07
about 21% of the freshwater.
02:10 - 02:14
What is it meant by sustainable development of water resources.
02:14 - 02:19
Development of water resources refers to reducing the uses usage of water
02:20 - 02:24
and recycling of wastewater for different purposes, such as cleaning,
02:24 - 02:26
manufacturing,
02:26 - 02:27
and agriculture,
02:28 - 02:34
irrigation in a way that water demands of future generations are not harmed
02:36 - 02:42
is the water that flows into the oceans from lakes and rivers wasted not at all.
02:42 - 02:47
It is an essential part of the global hydrologic cycle.
02:47 - 02:54
This water is vital, vital to navigation,
02:56 - 02:58
recreation, fish and wildlife support
02:58 - 03:00
and waste dilution
03:01 - 03:05
and so sustains the lifestyle of large and small
03:05 - 03:07
communities across Canada.
03:09 - 03:10
What?
03:10 - 03:11
Mm hmm.
03:12 - 03:15
Naming bodies of water and ocean is large
03:15 - 03:18
saltwater body that covers most of the earth.
03:18 - 03:24
A. C. Is a large inland body of salt water. A gulf is an oversized bay,
03:25 - 03:29
Obey. It's a part of the ocean that is bound by three sides.
03:30 - 03:33
A lake is fresh water contained inland.
03:34 - 03:38
A cove has smaller entrance than obey often in the mountains
03:39 - 03:42
upon is a small lake, a tributary,
03:42 - 03:45
a kind of river where water flows from high ground to low ground,
03:46 - 03:46
mm hmm.
03:48 - 03:52
Water on earth. Different animals have adaptations to survive living things
03:53 - 03:54
to survive.
03:54 - 03:59
Living things can live without very little fresh water as long as they can adapt.
03:59 - 04:02
There is not a lot of accessible fresh water.
04:03 - 04:04
The nerpa seal has adapted
04:04 - 04:07
by having bigger flippers to break through the ice
04:08 - 04:12
have about. They have about two liters more blood
04:13 - 04:17
to hold their breath longer. Some animals can change their color to reflect
04:17 - 04:21
and absorb the light. Here's some pictures of the nerpa and some
04:23 - 04:25
for color changing animals.
04:28 - 04:30
Water facts in Alberta,
04:30 - 04:34
while 80% of Alberta's water supply lies in the northern part of the province,
04:34 - 04:35
80% of Albertans.
04:35 - 04:36
Water demand comes from the
04:37 - 04:39
southern half of the province
04:39 - 04:44
Lake in Jasper National Park is the second largest glacier fed lake in the world.
04:45 - 04:50
Water facts in Canada, about 60% of the fresh water drains into the north,
04:50 - 04:53
while 85% of the population lives along the southern
04:53 - 04:55
border with the United States.
04:56 - 05:00
The largest river basin is the Canada and
05:00 - 05:03
is basin in Canada's largest Mackenzie basin,
05:04 - 05:08
based on drainage area and length.
05:08 - 05:12
That is it about water distribution in Canada.
